Hansen was a founding member of Mercyful Fate and performed on the classic eighties albums, “Melissa” and “Don’t Break The Oath,” as well as the 1993 release “In The Shadows.”

He was also and original member of King Diamond’s eponymous band, recording the albums “Fatal Portrait” and “Abigail,” as well as the single, “No Presents For Christmas” and some live releases.
